Haven't used coconut oil in a while...but during the long stretch that I did, I inserted the cooled stuff (so it went in then quickly melted) and coated the aneros with vaseline. It was a very good combo, should get some to use again.

For what it is worth, we are getting health information that coconut oil is not as beneficial to ingest as was promoted. The research suggests that it builds up fat around the heart. - well - it does so in mice! I don't know if the oil is absorbed into the body when used as a lube. There is a post somewhere with the composition of the various oils we use as lubes.

It looks like rumel's numbers are those depicted on the standard U.S. nutritional content label. The "serving size" for edible oils is one standard Tablespoon (about 15 ml.)

Most of the oils mentioned above weigh 14 grams per Tablespoon. Crisco is lighter at 12 gm per tablespoon due to en-trained air and it's new formulation has eliminated transfats. The label on any edible oil/fat will break down the fat content into Transfats (bad) and other categories as well and a good book on nutrition will further clarify the good fats from the bad ones. Many diet gurus would have us shun the tropical oils like Palm and Coconut.

It may be more important to consider how much of these oils we actually absorb via the lining of the colon and rectum. A generous amount of fiber in the diet will sweep much of the oil out of the body after it's done it's job of pleasure enhancement.

@isvara, is this his opinion? It doesnt say if the research found out it was bad. I say this cause if you read the article i have, people have been told since the 60's that saturated fats are bad for us, but studies prove otherwise with coconut oil. Alot of people "say" things just to benefit themselves or a group of people. Here in america we are told GMO foods are safe, yet the rest of the world refuses such malarky, so whats the truth? who knows.
